I stumbled across those links during an idle moment at lunchtime and thought you might find them useful for a bit of background context. Rather than sweep it all away [1] if you copy it over here or onto my user space somewhere I'll merge it into the listed building article, currently and ironicly bereft of historic context. --Joopercoopers 23:21, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

- Aha I missed we suddenly have a talk page here - just the stuff I'm doing at the moment - that section of the page is just basically a collection of thoughts - which could become dangerously close to own research - so I'm just setting things out so if I do come out with anything contraversial regarding the cause of the demolition any statement can be reffed to a legal text book or opinion of someone eminent. Thanks for the links I will use them, at the moment ploughing through some old tomes that have not been opened for years by the smell of them! Giano 07:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- I've an up to date copy of the eyewateringly dull 'Architect's legal Handbook', which may be a good citable source if you need it. By the by, I was at a meeting last week with a very eccentric planning-law barrister (A stickler for tradition, even the fuggy, humid, stuffy atmospheres of courtroom in the summer do not deter him from wearing his 3 piece suits complete with vests; his attire isn't ever moderated, even for site visits where he's been seen vaulting barbed wire fences and waving his bowler at bulls.) Anyway, during one of his rambling anecdotes, he talked about a planning appeal he'd done on the Isle of Man. Often in the UK 'overdevelopment' is an issue in planning appeals - more than approx 50 houses per hectare is considered over the top. For the barrister's appeal in the IOM case however, the 'overdevelopment' issue was one where the appellant had proposed development that marginally violated the 'one dwelling per hectare' policy they have over there - the rich man's planning authority. Strangely, for a tax haven, I can't remember reading anything about grand architectural statements on the Isle of Man - I've been to Douglas, which has the feel of an even more windswept Llandudno - maybe you know otherwise? --Joopercoopers 11:17, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- I've only ver been there once, marginally more than thrilling that the Isle of Wight - I'm not sure how much of that stuff I will be using, I just want it there to refer to as the page takes shape. Giano 15:30, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd forgotten about this from the Kinks 1967:-
- "The tax man's taken all my dough,
- And left me in this stately home,
- Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
- And I can't sail my yacht,
- He's taken everything I got,
- All I've got's this sunny afternoon..... etc.
